Josh Burk, author of The Summer of Saint Nick:
 
Studying flash cards is absolutely no fun -- but when the vocabulary is placed inside the context of a story, learning becomes simple. You remember the words because you remember the context, and because you read the vocabulary in a sentence, you learn how to use it yourself.
 

The only way to truly express our ideas is through perfect diction choice. What I love about the VocabCafé Book Series is that it makes learning great words so easy. Our society demands that we have the ability to speak, write, and present our thoughts effectively.

 
Another thing that makes this book series exemplary is the commitment to produce wholesome family entertainment. Our lives are extremely affected by media. We as humans imitate and believe the things we see and read. So much out there can have a tremendously negative influence. It's encouraging to find relevant books that are not only quality in merit, but also support positive moral values.

I hope this series inspires readers everywhere. Whether it helps someone write an awesome essay, allows someone to perfectly express their feelings, or just helps someone enjoy reading, this series will have done its job.
